The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Colin Taylor, who went 5 for 10 en route to 14 points plus six rebounds and two steals. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in threes (four). Another player making a difference was Dylan Goodknecht, who went 5 for 12 en route to 15 points.
